I just got my STEP email and since we found tickets through our camp, I'm returning 2@$390 back to the pool. I figured time is really short (since STEP is about to close) so emailed directly asking that these go straight back in, do not wait 72 hours!

it's not there. damn. i want to help the next STEP'er in line... though anyone who really wanted tickets should have been able to buy them in the open sale that was open for 3 days. and if other cities are like san diego, there's a bunch at-cost tickets on craigslist. so that makes me feel a little better... just a little...

I did not have a "Decline" button either. I emailed asking them to take it back. There definitely should be a button. Maybe a MOD can let BM staff know?!?

I just wanted to rejoin ePlaya for a touch to mention about a STEP email. Sorry about disappearing from these boards, but I just got tired of being flamed by a couple of small animals who live in the dark. It wasn't worth participating here, so I tossed the password.

I got a STEP email today for two tickets at $390. I'm going to turn them down since our unplaced camp of about 35 wonderful friends realized beforehand that the ticket lottery was going to be an unmitigated fiasco, so we took proactive action to deal with it. Between the ability of a number of our camp mates to obtain tickets through volunteer gigs on-playa, and telling their partners and other friends to avoid the $240's, double bid the $320's, and slightly overbid the $390's, we nailed the percentages. Our cool camp ended up with the correct number of tickets, even though I didn't get one personally via the lottery.

Looking forward to the dust! And to displaying a cool art piece that I've been working on

Got offered a STEP ticket yesterday. I wish there was an easier way to decline it (as I got a ticket 2-3 weeks ago from a friend).. but happy they are seemingly so plentiful at last. I was a little bit astounded they ever got to me (time stamp, 12:22).

Also, it's going to be curious how many people actually make it out. The head count after last years "sell out" was smaller than 2010's at the gate sales.

i have two 240 STEP tickets i can't use and need to re-sell. it seems STEP is closed, altho i'm not sure what time that happened today. any ideas on other options to re-sell and have someone else be able to enjoy...?

Sounds like you've already bought both and they're in your name, right? You can put the other in the name of someone else when you arrive at Will Call, but selling it on the honor system might be difficult, unless someone is traveling with you. (They would only have your word that you're going to put that second ticket in their name.) But a local might be willing to take you up on it. Or someone very, very enterprising.

If I had a spare, and could not turn it back in to STEP and had no one to sell it to . . . well, I would try very hard to sell it before I got there, actually, but if worse came to worse, I would keep my eyes open in line, and at Will Call.

Hi all, glad to see most got tix. I tried to put one ticket back in step, but it must of closed early, and it was a $240. I don't know what to do, as I have to pick them up at will call. Sorry I couldn't have put it back here. If I can't find anyone, I will probably just hang out at will call and see if anyone needs a tix. It looks like there are others in the same situation, so I am thinking that there will be others selling tickets at will call. Guess it is worth the chance for the ones without tickets. Hope to see you all, will have my 12:27 time stamp on my hat

I received two tickets to Burning Man through STEP. I just found out last night that I cannot attend, but when I tried to sell my tickets back today, the STEP was already closed. I thought they were leaving it open through the end of the day. Is there any other way to sell STEP tickets other than driving out there to meet people at Will Call?

My name finally came up on STEP and I am super excited. However I already got my ticket. I am helping a camp so I got a ticket that way and it is waiting at Will Call. The exciting part is my girlfriend can now go with me. I thought that might not happen. Here is where I need help. I changed my plans to go out early so my girlfriend's ticket with STEP will be in my name. She cannot come out until a couple days after the event starts. it is my understanding a name chance cannot be made so how can I get her the ticket if I am on Playa and she is showing up at some random time? I was looking into it and I kind of get the impression I can pick up the ticket at Will Call and then give it back in her name even as a STEP ticket. The name chance can only not be made online before the Burn. Is this true? I am running out of time to pay for the tickets and I do not know what I should do.Any help as to how I can pick a ticket up in person at Will Call through STEP and then somehow get the ticket to a person coming later will be very helpful. Thank you
